H. Anthony Ruckel

The firm provides discretionary portfolio management for individuals, their families, and straightforward trusts, and also offers limited hourly advice on employer pension and 401(k) accounts generally for clients whose portfolios it manages. It works with individual, custodial, trust, IRA and pension accounts and requires a written engagement with a $500,000 relationship minimum.

The adviser uses fundamental analysis as its primary method, supplemented by technical analysis when appropriate, and constructs portfolios from publicly traded common and preferred stocks, mutual funds, and ETFs while using mutual funds for bond exposure. Portfolios are managed with a generally conservative orientation that may include growth-oriented holdings and, in limited circumstances, publicly traded REITs and covered-call strategies; the firm does not invest in private equity, direct real estate, commodities, futures, or most derivatives.

Noteworthy features include a principal with a more-than-40-year legal career and experience serving as trustee for special-needs trusts and on nonprofit finance and development committees, a background that is uncommon among independent advisory firms. The firm manages about $18 million across roughly eleven client relationships, recently entered a June 2026 Consent Order with the Colorado Division of Securities to remediate certain compliance deficiencies and engaged an independent compliance consultant, and it does not accept proxy voting authority for client securities.
